He made this statement on the back of the 'Kum Yen Preko' demo organized in 2019 by his party in Accra to register their displeasure against the “hardship and oppression” in the country. Mr Gyamfi noted that: “It seems the only thing that moves this government is demonstration…immediately drivers decided to join 'kum yen preko' to protest against the luxury tax…Finance minister announced that the luxury tax will be reviewed. The same thing applies to Menzgold issue." Participants of the protest cited unbearable economic hardship and oppression experienced under the current Akufo-Addo administration as reasons for the demonstration. Joining the pressure group for the protest march were the Minority Caucus in Parliament, the Greater Accra Market Women Association and Head Potters Association.
